X-Message-Number: 9301 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: Re: CryoNet #9284 - #9292 Date: Tue, 17 Mar 1998 00:17:42 -0800 (PST) Hi everyone! To Mike and others who have continued the discussion on humans and computers, sorry! I have to get up early tomorrow and don't have time to answer your stunning ripostes. I will add, though, that since real Turing machines are impossible (because they have an infinite tape) it seems odd to argue that a machine able to mark down real numbers (ie. infinite decimal numbers) or have components a real number distance apart (such as pi or sqrt(2)) should be dismissed merely because infinite decimal numbers are impossible. But enough! I really do have to go to bed. Best wishes and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=9301
